There are a few things in the presentation that make it feel like stepping into a Disney resort restaurant, but the warm and chatty staff more than make up for it. The flat white is drinkable and if you ask nicely they will gladly prep a big version of the Veggie breakfast for £6.99. With All-Day Breakfast starts at £3.99 with a hot drink, the Veggie Breakfast at £4.99 with a hot drink and their large variants for £2 more, it's good value and good portion sizes.

Mettrick's bring their trademark roast and ground to the city centre…read more Nestled right up against the Bargate, this city centre outpost of Mettrick's is well placed for shoppers who'd like to get away from the usual suspects by the shops. Much like it's Old Town sibling there is a warmth to this coffeehouse which is seldom found in this city. Good flat whites and cappuccino's compliment a basic but decent food menu, beat out the competition with ease.

A nice little coffee spot in the southern Old Town which serves good roast, a mean flat white, and…read morea small selection of ales and artisanal soda drinks. While the single origin can come through a little ropey, almost burnt, the regular blend is great and sits well on the tongue. There is free, decent wifi, and the staff haven't seemed to mind when I asked if I could make a couple of big downloads over it. The only big criticism I can find is that the service is slow, slower than the number of staff they have on should be, this is likely a bottleneck on the coffee machine. They have an acoustic night on Thursdays too, I've neither attended nor played, but when walking past it's sounded quite decent (I guess these things are not really in their control so YMMV).

I've been searching for a good, independent breakfast place in Southampton and found a review on…read moreanother website that said this was the best one around, so my brother and I decided to pop along and see whether that was true. As we looked for the venue, we couldn't quite find it, and eventually we noticed that the sign is covered by an awning. This makes it pretty difficult to find, and once you're inside the atmosphere is a bit subdued; there weren't many people in for a Saturday morning and the two members of staff serving and cooking were pretty dour. We found a table for two and my brother went to the counter to order, but the staff completely ignored him - I get that sometimes you're busy and can't serve someone immediately, but I do think that a quick 'sorry sir, if you take a seat we'll come and let you know when we're ready for you' would have been a much better reaction than stony silence! Also, given how quiet it was, it doesn't bode well generally that the staff couldn't serve us immediately. My brother had a banana milkshake, which was profoundly disappointing; I had a latte, which was pretty good. We both got the large full English breakfast, and that was good - nice sausages, in particular, but good ingredients all round. My only complaint about the quality of the food would have been that the eggs' yolks were hard rather than runny, but that wouldn't stop me going again. Unfortunately, the poor service probably means I'll cast around for a different breakfast place. But the food is good, and the coffee was hot.
